Was solo in a flying machine before I was allowed in a car in a Cadet Mk III at Burtonwood in 1969 and have had a lengthy (but low houred) relationship with aviation since. I mostly fly on vacations now (work at an airport takes up too much of my time) am planning to fly in Colorado (don't tell me about leaning when the threshold elevation is 6,800 ft) and California in September. Last flew in a Pipersport at Kissimmee at Christmas and had the rare experience of flying PA-28s in Qatar when I was posted there. VFR over the desert meant I had to learn RNAV.
I LOVE Goodwood Revival and always try to watch F1 GPs. I had a brief dalliance with golf in Doha where the floodlit 9 hole let us play after work but haven't had the time to play in the UK where 18holes would use 25% of a weekend. Play about 3 times a year now. I enjoy snorkling on the occasions when I get somewhere warm enough but have never found time to do a PADI course.
Live in a 16th century cottage so my quality of carpentry is acceptable and having just had an oak barn built in the garden, have lots nmore carpentry to do. If I had more time, I'd fly more, golf more, go to concerts more and would rather fancy a nice motor yacht to meander along the South coast.
